Join artist Seymour Chwast as he gets Nosy about one of the most obvious yet oft-maligned facial features with this illustrated-nonfiction board book that manages to be both affirming and gently humorous.

Review Quotes

With bold illustrations and sly visual humor, Chwast dives into the functions and forms of one very prominent feature: the nose. From sniffing and sneezing to running and snoozing, each spread pairs lively drawings with short, punchy text and celebrates with an affirming reminder: every nose, no matter the shape or size, is a good nose. VERDICT A quirky concept book with graphic punch, perfect for preschoolers exploring their five senses, or just their faces.

"An ode to the node." If you know anything about design then you know the name "Seymour Chwast". Now in his 80s, the man is still doing original work. For example, until this moment he'd never published a book on a first run in a board book format. Inside the book itself, you'll find that it's all about all things nose, both human and animal. It's also printed in an almost perversely appealing shape. I mean, you get to use the nose to turn the pages! How cool is that?

Fun, delightfully clever, and impressively original, "Nosy" by author/illustrator Seymour Chwast is a thoroughly 'kid friendly' pick for family, daycare center, preschool, Kindergarten, and community library board book collections for young children ages 3-5.
